Eli Fola

Eli Fola is a Nigerian American multidisciplinary sound artist, saxophonist, DJ, producer, and creator of the acclaimed live hybrid performance style Yoruba Tech Soul. Rooted in the belief that sound can be a catalyst for healing, reflection, and transformation, his work explores the intersection of electronic music, ancestral wisdom, and emotional well being. Following a life changing breathing surgery in 2026 that profoundly reshaped his relationship with health, presence, and purpose, Eli's artistic practice evolved toward creating immersive sonic experiences that help listeners process emotion, navigate life's transitions, and reconnect with themselves. The experience became a pivotal turning point in his creative journey, deepening his understanding of healing not only as a physical process, but as an emotional, spiritual, and communal one. Through a blend of house music, techno, ambient soundscapes, jazz improvisation, classical influences, live saxophone, and Yoruba rhythmic traditions, he crafts performances that move fluidly between the dance floor and meditation ritual. Eli has released music on influential labels including He.She.They Records, Armada Music, Rise Berlin, Mobilee Records, Global Underground and his own imprints Tech Afrique and Hybridity Art.
